Fire Riddim 2009
Fire Overview
The Fire Riddim is a foundation reggae rhythm that stood out in 2019 for its conscious sound and roots style. This rhythm blends classic reggae with hints of other genres, such as dancehall and even a touch of R&B, making it fresh but still true to reggae’s heart. The steady drum and bassline give it a deep, earthy feel, while the melodies allow singers to bring their own style. Artists like Luntan Fyah, Sizzla, Turbulence, Jah Mason, and Currency all contributed to the Fire Riddim with unique songs. Luntan Fyah’s “Dont Cry To Me” carries a strong message and soulful delivery. Sizzla, known for his hit “Thank You Mama” and his Grammy-nominated album “The Messiah,” brings smooth vocals to “Glad You Are My Lady.” Turbulence, who gained fame with the song “Notorious,” adds his energy to “All I Need Is You.” Jah Mason’s “Hands In Mine” offers uplifting lyrics, while Currency’s “Everyday Struggle” speaks about real-life challenges. Other tracks like “Send Us Your Blessing” and “Pumping Crazy” by Ratio, and “Burning Desire” by Ken Albert, show how the rhythm welcomes different voices and styles. Each artist uses the rhythm in their own way, blending roots reggae with modern influences. The culture arranger played a big part in shaping the sound, making sure the rhythm stayed true to reggae’s roots while allowing new ideas. This helped the Fire Riddim keep reggae’s foundation alive and strong in 2019, connecting the past with the present.
